We can talk about that after people have seen it. voice-verified

But I... voice-verified

I'm kind of fascinated by those two directors, Villeneuve as well, deciding to take on a Bond movie, of really spending a lot of time thinking about not just how the audience will react, but what will get the audience interested. voice-verified

And I don't think that Scorsese and Spielberg and some of those guys who came to fame in the 70s, Coppola is among that cohort, a lot of that generation is dying off, honestly. voice-verified

But those guys who are still making those films, they're thinking about themselves, I think, voice-verified

And for Spielberg, that's he's roughly in his early 50s, which is the time that Christopher Nolan is right now. voice-verified

Yeah, it's weird. voice-verified

Like... voice-verified

Obviously, I've gotten a lot of shit, perhaps rightfully so, from my Inception takes over the years. voice-verified

But one of the things I always felt watching it, I was like, this is a little bit of an immature movie. voice-verified

Like it's a movie made by like a filmmaker who has incredible skill, but like maybe hasn't fully like baked their stuff. voice-verified

And one of the reasons why I've gotten so interested in what he's doing lately is I feel like he is in total command. voice-verified

Like he is the absolute maestro of movies right now. voice-verified

And the thing that we should probably just say about The Odyssey 2 is like, I can't remember the last time a movie like this was even attempted. voice-verified

Like, it's seven countries on multiple continents in multiple climates with hundreds of extras and background actors. voice-verified

Um, I, voice-verified

I have you have to doff your cap to him just demanding that this this be what the movies are like that that is what is really special to me about it is like we're in a time where it's been a very cool movie year and there's been a lot of talk about that on Bill's show on on our shows about how you know movies have juice this year I don't know if they're like back back back the way that they were in 1997 but they have juice and voice-verified

And the only way that that continues is if you have powerful people demanding this kind of thing. voice-verified

Like you have to say, I want to do the biggest thing you're willing to attempt. voice-verified

And I know that most studios, when I talk to the people who work at studios, they're like, we do want a filmmaker. voice-verified
